Charles and Sarah Kaye

The Kaye family moved to Granada, Nicaragua in 2006, where Charles and Sarah serve as team leaders for Serge. Their work is based around the El Puente mission and the Granada Christian Education Center.
Charles and Sarah met while working in the financial services industry in New York. With the arrival of their second child, they decided to leave New York City and moved to rural Virginia outside of Charlottesville, where Charles began a hedge fund and Sarah focused on bringing back to life a historic farm and raising their children.
Challenged to walk out their faith in a new way, Charles and Sarah took several trips to Central America over a period of three years, finally deciding to focus on Granada, which had seen very few successful mission entrants over the years. They established El Puente mission base at the crossroads of five barrios at the edge of the historic district, in the heart of drug territory. El Puente now hosts a bilingual church, Vida Joven youth clubs, post-recovery addiction support groups, an economic development initiative making and marketing jewelry and handcrafts, and many visiting mission teams throughout the year. The Kayes also founded a bilingual Christian school in Pantanal, a poor but growing barrio, on the outskirts of town.
